This book would be great required reading for high school because it touches on such a vast body of inquiry.

A great book, and well narrated by William Roberts, my copy there are others I believe. One major problem that Bryson himself commented on in a radio interview when asked about updating the content. A lot of the information is out of date, we even know more now about the lives of the main historical characters than we did before. Bryson said he just didn't have the energy to research all the new development, and it was suggested that some bright young writer take the job on. The stories on everyday objects and rooms in his other great book 'At Home' however is still very relevant.

I find this book fun and interesting. The voice reminds me of instructional cartoons from Disney I’d watch as a child. It’s too bad Bill has no knowledge of God, and or no ability to weave Him into the story. Instead we are left with empty phrases like when referencing the Big Bang theory, “We always thought you couldn’t get something from nothing, but (since there’s no Creator) I guess you can!” Also, what Bill fails to tell us is that most all of these great thinkers throughout the ages were strongly religious. And my science teachers of the present were so in awe of their fields they told me they were convinced it could only be the work of God.

Reading this book finally made me believe that science backs the evidence of God

[@majorburke9735]

@@Frettingfret I’m really enjoying the Rational Bible Series by Dennis Prager. He explains almost every verse of the five Books of Moses from the original Hebrew and cultural perspective. For me, he turned the old testament into a real “page turner”. For the New Testament, Brandon Robbins on KZbin is just as incredible. I’ve always had an eye out for the wisdom of God, but I’ve never enjoyed it as much as with Dennis and Brandon. Maybe I just wasn’t ready to hear it until now. However, I do believe I was blessed with a divine “nudge” in this direction.

Wonderful.

By listening to this book I have realized that it cant be a coincidence that we exist. There has to be a smarter being that could have possibly created all this.

[@coyoteboy5601]

Then there has to be an even smarter being that created that being. And so on.

I was stuck on the side of Everest for 54 hours due to bad weather. Just a rope holding me. Believe me you start to hallucinate. Pain becomes something vague and distant. Your body shuts down. Your mind plays tricks. I will never look for discomfort ever again.

Brilliant book..read it with absolute wonder…forgot most that I read so fantastic to hear again what I once read…

Loved this book. Glad I found this

Haven’t noticed anyone mention “A Walk In The Woods” by Bryson. He attempts the Appalachian Trail with a hilarious friend. The adventure is a flail and Bryson narrates it in the way you’d imagine if you pick up his sense of humor in this book. I put it a very close 2nd to A Short History.

[@kronkite1530]

Agreed, it is a brilliant book.

[@Chuck-e7d]

Will have to check it out ☺️

His best book 📖 imo …..never laughed so much

[@bruceklein9917]

It's a classic. "What's your star sign?" "Cunnlingus..." Best line in the whole book.

He also did A Sunburned Country about his trip to Australia. Having been there made it extra funny!
